Barrier-Free Living Technologies Competition

About the Competition

The Barrier-Free Living Technologies Competition is organized within the scope of TEKNOFEST Technology Competitions. Ensuring social coherence is aimed to prioritize enabling people with special needs to access healthcare, inclusive education, independent living, disasters and humanitarian emergencies in line with the Ministry of Family and Social Services’ 2030 mission. 
Our mission is to improve the social responsibility awareness and technological ideas of individuals and make life easier for people with special needs by providing original, local and national resources. Ideas and studies are expected to minimize the academic, social, and professional difficulties experienced by individuals with special needs.
